mjr_: mircea_popescu: how do i get credits?
mjr_: mircea_popescu: I'm so glad that trilema is back up...lots of good articles
BingoBoingo: Sure mircea_popescu Cyprus banks owe money. Largely on Greek debt among other bad Euro debts. It is just Germany seems to like playing Euro enforcer now that everyone else has made them throw away the sharp objects
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu I do like how accessing his books costs a full share...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu Do they sell silver that small or is there a swing people aren't showing... Coinabul shows 0.5 BTC for an once of silver... I think Usagi is awfully bullish or lubed numbers up to extract them from a convenient place
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu I think you flipped it, silver is closer to $28/oz last I checed TU.silver had asks at 0.14BTC/Share for an ambiguous definition of share...
pigeons: no its courtesy mircea_popescu
Namworld: mircea_popescu: sure, we are. Just no one investing in Usagi related stuff.
Namworld: [00:27] <mircea_popescu> honestly, it sucks, but what can i do.
Namworld: [00:27] <mircea_popescu> yeah. i keep missing out on lots of hot btc deals because i am not smart enough

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: "The only thing you cannot do with a bayonet is sit on it." (Talleyrand)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this sounds perfectly logical inside your head, until you're outnumbered and outgunned, and down on your knees - ready to please?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I argue that, just as it is better to have a wife who doesn't cheat, it is also good to not be hated. especially if this can be accomplished at reasonable cost.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if I'm not mistaken, it sums up your political angle nicely.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you should put up "oderint dum metuant" as a subtitle on your site.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: great illustration right there, for why we're fucked: the grad student will be thinking of his sister, whoring for food in the West, when he pulls the trigger.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: its perfect right up to the moment some disgruntled grad school dropout in Mumbair turns loose the superplague.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the most likely conclusion, of course, is that the "hot" side grows lax and lazy from the cheap labour traded for goodies by the "cold" side. and the latter eventually sacks Rome.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the leveling can go in either direction, of course. unlike a heat engine.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the problem with that kind of interaction is that it uses a thermodynamic gradient, if you will. one that eventually levels out.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why not extract it from a PGP public key instead? can't be faked, and doesn't need armed thugs to enforce.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if someone were to open a fake MPEx, would anyone be fooled? Why do you need trademarks enforced by governments?
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu: nope
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: intelligent poor could trash civilization permanently if they wanted to.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and it only takes one.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bioweapons. doesn't take a world-class brain.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: worry about the intelligent poor.
Bugpowder: [22:29] <mircea_popescu> created ~300 mn usd worth of bitcoin wealth. SO FAR. This isn't over yet.
pigeons: mircea_popescu hyperbolic? nevar
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: will the mpex bot start doing some market making on options above 750 at some point?
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: pong

imsaguy: mircea_popescu: SEC investigation
mjr_: mircea_popescu: 4 million a month in alimony
mjr_: mircea_popescu: was just curious, i sold half my position of the 41 calls for .96 btc (4 contracts) i still have four more :)
mjr_: mircea_popescu: thanks, that was me...so i was wondering why my trade was on there

midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Do you have access to a looking glass?

midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: My traceroute is from northern california..

smickles: mircea_popescu: are you seeing this?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I might take you up on that challenge.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that wouldn't do the trick, necessarily. presumably they have plenty of BTC in house to absorb the "noise"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not so sure about that. it might be possible to measure traffic to, say, mtgox, indirectly (without being in control of mtgox)

smickles: mircea_popescu: this is all getting into indiana jones territory. soon enough you'll have to be at 'the spot where the sun is at such an angel in sky on this day of the year and casts a shadow to your feet. turn left, take a pic of the mountian and pump that pic into the script where you enter "david duchovny" 6 times'

kakobrekla: 21:15.54 ( mircea_popescu ) that;s why when i cashed out 10k rons today they only had 9k in the entire bank
kakobrekla: 21:15.39 ( mircea_popescu ) orly.
